His sister looked after the tall, erect
figure from her seat in the prettlly
draped window.
"He is q dear good fellow! l am
sure any girl would feel proud to re-
ceive attention from such a man as
ChesCon," unused she, working many
pleasant thoughts into the gay en-
broidery. II wish ! could interest
him IN acknowledgement Castle
maine, for instance. 1t would
prove very beneficial to him. Now
society bores him; he does not
care to go out. and is consequently
losing all his friends. 1t is q shame
for such o man to bury himself so
completely in business; he needs rous'

But the entrance OF the lady's hus'
band put a stop to castle-building;
their conversation drifted into other
channels.
Mrs. Vincy was a lady who usually
carried out her plans. She made q
most enjoyable call on the Castle
maines, and warmly urged both ladies
to visit her, telling Margaret to come
just as often as the mood prompted
her.
Cheston Dale did not chance to
meet the girl for several weeks.

brother, very quietly.
"You are a good tellow!" cried the
lady, in tones of approval.
And, shortly alter, they were wend-

lived.
Margaret was seated in the drawing

hand.
Cheston took the small hand in his,
and then they seated themselves. The
three were 500 chatting socially to-
gether. Mrs. Castlemaine joined the
party, and Chest on found himself con-
versing earnestly with the young girl.
Frivolous? He thought he had never
looked into q more earnest or truer
face. Sine Tas gieeful and light-heart-
ed, too; her merry laugh was pleasant

dislike him; her reeollections of old
times must have lett an agreeable I'M

Cheston Dale was not treated as
